Torrential Haze

Upon my soul I find blotted ink,

Seeping through the pages, 

Smudged beyond recognition,

A torrential haze clouds the very eyes with which I seek vision,

The future lacking clarity, 

Harnessing the very fears I have polished,

The years have not been kind upon this simple mind,

A frozen tundra awaits inside when you dare to delve,

You won't find dreams where I have gone,

Just molten sulphur hail. 

Sacred fire without a wick,

Suffering in it's eternal damnation,  

Unable to see an end,

A future clouded with uncertainty, 

A broken gale of discontent would stir it from it's rhythm,

It's fractured melody caving in,

As the world evolves around it,

Immortality at its state of anguish,

We can learn from it's failure,

For at the end of day what can I say,

My future is the fear I carry.

Every line is painted in imagery, and tender words
Marvelous job, keep writing! I really enjoyed reading this piece

the emotion jumps off the words and makes its way into the readers heart ^^

Sacred fire without a wick,
Suffering in it's eternal damnation,

This was an excellent poem and very dark. I enjoyed reading this today.

a highly descriptive and elegant piece, one that seeks to tell a story that we all must hear, well done, good read.

I like the above lines. Failure allowed us to learn to try not to repeat the same mistake twice. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

You've done well with this one. If I thought about a revised version, I'd have the fire central to the whole poem, not just the second half; the first verse could be incorporated into one larger unit. "Sacred fire" has lots of resonances from ancient greek thought onwards, "eternal" being one of them and "eternal damnation" a good spin on it when you're feeling miserable.

Oh I see, well maybe I can do a little editing magic and change some things around =D Thank you for the suggestions
